Was this a new claim or a change of circumstances that you reported?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Then the decision should, I think, be backdated to when you reported the change.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
